Chapter 229 How the Mighty Has Fallen

Heather’s brows knitted together, and she explained, “Ms. Eyer, it was Mr. Royden who asked us to interview you. I can’t help you if you do not cooperate.”

Jean continued to not show any response. At this moment, Miles frowned slightly and was about to go forward when Jean slowly turned her head back and saw Heather’s outstretched hand. A look of surprise flashed through her eyes.

“Sorry, I lost my hearing. I can’t hear anything.” She smiled apologetically. Heather was stunned. Jean continued to smile calmly and said, “I’ll do the interview, but could you please write the questions down.” Heather looked at Miles, and when he nodded, she replied, “I understand, let me go get it ready.”

She had not known that this was the extent of Jean’s condition. Very soon after, they started the interview. The questions Heather asked were all that had been pre-approved, and Jean answered them naturally.

“Mr. Royden is the head of Royden Group; he only cares about my condition because it was related to the company’s truck…”

Miles let out a sigh of relief. He was relieved that Jean was sticking to the script. His phone rang, and he left the room to take it. When he came in five minutes later, the atmosphere in the room had changed.

“Was it my fault? Ms. Shanty, you have to tell the world the truth. Otherwise, I don’t think I can live in this world anymore.” Jean said in a quiet voice while wiping at tears.

Miles was dumbfounded.

What did she say? That wasn’t in the script!

Heather also had tears in her eyes as she clutched Jean’s hands tightly. Her face was full of concern as she incessantly nodded her head. Soon after, she left with the photographer.

Miles could feel that things weren’t right. He quickly went over and asked, “Ms. Shanty, are you done with the interview already?”

They still had a few questions left in the script.

“I don’t see the need to continue. Mr. Miller, please let Mr. Royden know that even though we had an understanding, I am still a reporter, and I must let the world know the truth! I’ll let you know though; I hope Mr. Royden will settle things fairly with Ms. Eyer as soon as possible.” Heather said with fervor.

Miles was shell shocked.
